I have been gluten-free for two years now and have come to realize that most gluten free recipes are complex due to having to replace gluten with multiple ingredients to get a satisfactory taste and texture. Because of that, most of the cookbooks I own by Bette Hagman-although they are wonderful, too-just sit on my shelf unused. Who has time for 15 ingredients?

Gluten-Free Quick and Easy may have some recipes that have many ingredients, but the majority of them are common ingredients are fewer ingredients than other cookbooks.
